Table 2.
Changes in skin potential (mV) with electrical grounding
Min. | Max. | Mean | SE | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Pre-grounding phase | 38.92 | 1,414.40 | 415.29 | 54.4 |
Grounding phase | 0.94 | 72.05 | 19.06 | 3.3 |
Twenty-six patients were tested before grounding and again after grounding. Connecting patients to electrical ground produced a >95% drop in skin potential.
